Improve heath and wellness

Some of these courses are suitable for complete beginners; some are suitable for people who are completely unfit and for all ages.

Other courses are more dynamic, and are suitable for those already practicing yoga.

All our courses are an ideal way to improve your wellness and your health, and they all include time spent walking in the Burren hills or by the sea, appreciating Nature and also visiting some of the local attractions such as the The Ailwee caves, The hermit’s cave and many other places.

These wellness courses are an ideal opportunity to go to take a break from your everyday life, and also to take time to look after your health and fitness.

Most people come on their own, and all our courses are limited to 15 people. It is very easy to get to know others and the atmosphere is friendly, informal and relaxed.

The location is in one of the most beautiful magical locations in Ireland. The Burren Yoga and Meditation Centre is a remote yoga centre on the west coast of Ireland, where there are little or no people living in the surrounding area, where you are surrounded by Nature and spend time out in the surrounding countryside each day…. the benefits you receive are much deeper and longer lasting.

Our yoga holday breaks in the Burren Yoga and Meditation Centre on the West coast of Ireland range from very gentle yoga courses to very strong and energetic yogas courses.

We also offer Gentle yoga and Healthy Detox courses, and also courses on Vegetarian cooking.

Relaxation in Nature is like food for the soul

An important difference to time spent in a London Leisure centre is that as part of our yoga retreats, we organise outings each day into the Burren. An important aspect of these holidays is to enjoy the naturalness and unspoilt beauty of nature and to experience a deep relaxation which is nourishing to all levels of our being.

And nowadays one of the most important ways of looking after your health, is to learn ways to relax, let go of thoughts and also safe and enjoyable learn to bring exercise and yoga into your daily life.

Satyananda says that “Relaxation is essential in everyone’s life. It is a release of tension in both the mind and body for a period of time to allow complete rest and revitalization. This is the whole reason to sleep, but because of the tension filled lives that most people now lead in the daytime, sleep no longer refreshes us sufficiently.”

Relaxation is a state where the body and mind are in a state of rest. The parasympathetic system is activated and this helps many of the body’s systems and functions slow down.

Techniques to relax for your wellbeing

Relaxation techniques start by taking your consciousness away from emotionally charged thoughts and directing it to activities that are emotionally neutral such as awareness of your breath or different parts of your body. It is almost impossible for anyone to remain or to become tense and angry when their attention is directed towards their big toe.
